Hi All! Thanks to the help of many people on this forum (and a bit of ChatGPT), I've gotten my first Lua game into playable form!
Attack Vector is a simple but addictive space shooter in which the crank controls your ship. It features boss(es), powerup(s), and a high score system.
I plan on adding some additional enemies, bosses, and powerups before releasing to itch, but it's already quite fun, though hard. If you can beat the third boss, you'll have come farther than I ever have.
This is a rough first pass, but any feedback on design, UI, gameplay balance, etc. is welcome!
Special thanks to Dan McLay of the J. Arthur Keenes Band for permission to use the song "Videogame Theme" as the, well, theme music.
